Opera at the Beach: Macbeth

LA Opera presents Opera at the Beach, a live broadcast sponsored by Los Angeles County and by Supervisor Sheila Kuehl.  Our season opener of MACBETH, starring Plácido Domingo, will be broadcast live in high-definition from the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion to the big screen at the Santa Monica Pier.

This event is FREE to the public. Early arrival is suggested to secure best seating!

Seating at the event is GENERAL ADMISSION. Arrive early to get the best area, and be sure to bring your own seating.  The Pier will be open for the live broadcast beginning at 5:00pm for pre-performance picnicking.  A bike valet is available for your convenience from 5:00 – 11:30pm. The valet is located near the volleyball courts on the south side of the Pier.

On site amenities include The Wine Terrace presented by Los Angeles magazine. For one low price, visitors to The Wine Terrace can sample wines from a variety of vendors, to be announced. The Wine Terrace will be open from 6-9:00pm. Tickets are $30 each if purchased in advance and $40 at the door; must be 21 years of age with valid ID to enter.

WINE TERRACE TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE HERE.

Bring your own seating: blankets, low lawn seats, and cushions. Prepared food picnics are encouraged, although food will be available for purchase. We suggest warm clothing and solid footwear as the surface of the Pier can be unstable. We also suggest you bring CASH for parking, The Wine Terrace, and food vendors.

PLEASE NOTE: All bags will be searched upon entry onto the Pier.

Grilling or cooking is prohibited. Avoid large coolers (handheld coolers are OK, but subject to search). No canopies or tents or sun umbrellas. Guests may not bring alcoholic beverages onto the Pier (though you may purchase tickets at The Wine Terrace).

Sorry, no pets.  Smoking is not permitted on the Pier.
